SLA (Service Level Agreement) is an essential factor that must be guaranteed to provide a reliable and consistent service to user in cloud computing environment. Especially, a contract between user and service provider with SLA is important in an environment using a cloud service brokerage. The cloud computing is classified into IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS according to IT resources of the various cloud service. The existing SLA is difficult to reflect the quality factors of service, because it only considers factors about the physical Network environment and have no methodological approach. In this paper, we suggested a method to specify the quality characteristics of software and proposed a mechanism and structure that can exchange SLA specification between the service provider and consumer. We defined a meta-model for the SLA specification in the SaaS level, and quality requirements of the SaaS were described by the proposed specification language. Through case studies, we verified proposed specification language that can present a variety of software quality factors. By using the UDDI-based mediation process and architecture to interchange this specification, it is stored in the repository of quality specifications and exchanged during service binding time.

Optical burst switching (OBS) has been proposed to reduce the use of fiber delay lines (FDLs) and to realize the optical switching paradigm of the next-generation ail optical networks. The OBS can provide improvements over wavelength routing in terms of bandwidth efficiency and core network scalability via statistical multiplexing of bursts. Recently, another challenging issue is how to upport quality of service (QoS) in the optical burst switching networks. In this paper, we propose a deflection routing scheme to guarantee the QoS for the OBS networks to detour lower priority burst forward to the deflection routing path when congested. A big advantage of the proposed scheme is the simplicity of QoS provision, that comes from the simple QoS provisioning algorithm. Also, the QoS provisioning scheme be able to make efficient networks by fairly traffic distributing with the reduce of the use of FDLs at core routers. The QoS provisioning scheme has been verified to reliably guarantee the QoS of priority 0, 1, 2 burst and to efficiently utilize network resources by computer simulations using OPNET As results, the end-to-end delay of high priority burst is improved, and the network efficiency is also improved.

In a WLAN, the data reception rate of a user station depends not only on the received signal strength (RSS) from an AP (Access Point) but also on the contention level of the AP. However, since only the RSSs measured at the physical layer have been used for a station to select an AP to associate with, the station may not satisfy the minimum quality requirements necessary for a seamless IPTV service. Thus, in this paper, we propose an AP selection method to support quality requirements of the IPTV service in a wireless LAN without modifying the IEEE 802.11 standard. A user station keeps monitoring a contention level of APs around it and a quality of an ongoing IPTV service. If the quality deteriorates below a threshold, the station reassociates with another AP having the least load so that the ongoing IPTV program is played without disruption.

Wireless multicast service can be used for video streaming service to save the network resources by sending the same popular multimedia contents to a group of users at once. For better multimedia streaming multicast service, we propose a quality-aware rate adaptation (QARA) scheme for scalable video multicast in rate adaptive wireless networks. In QARA, transmission rate is determined depending on the content's type and users' channel conditions. First, the base layer is transmitted by a low rate for high reliability. That means we provide basic service quality to all users. On the contrary, the transmission rate for enhancement layer is adapted by using channel condition feedback from a randomly selected node. So, the enhancement layer frames in a multimedia content is sent with various transmission rates. Therefore, each node can be provided with differentiated quality services. Consequently, QARA is capable of serving heterogeneous population of mobile nodes. Moreover, it can utilize network resources more efficiently. Our simulation results show that QARA outperforms utilization of the available transmission rate and reduces the data transmission time.

인터넷은, 전화로 대변되는 과거의 정보통신 서비스와는 달리 사회 전반에 막대한 영향력을 행사하는 서비스로 발전하였다. 인터넷에 대한 의존도는 향후 모든 정보통신서비스가 인터넷을 기반으로 제공되는 All-IP 디지털 컨버전스 시대에 더욱 더 심화될 것이다. 이 경우 오늘날의 인터넷보다도 QoS(Quality of Service)에 관한 이슈가 더욱 중요해질 것은 자명하다. 이러한 배경에서 ITU(International Telecommunication Union)나 IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force)등의 국제표준화 기구에서 차세대 인터넷 (Next Generation Network, NGN)에 대한 QoS 문제를 연구하고 있다. 그러나 이들 국제기구는 주로 기술공학적인 측면에서 QoS 문제에 접근하고 있어서 현실적으로 완전한 대안을 제공하지는 못하고 있다. 즉, 인터넷 산업의 특성상 사업자간 끊김없는 연동(seamless inter-operations)과 협력이 필수적인데, 이는 기술공학적 측면보다도 비즈니스 및 정책적 관점에서 다루어져야 되기 때문이다. 통신 사업자 및 벤더(vendor)의 글로벌 컨소시엄으로 출발한 TMF(TeleManagement Forum)나 QuEST Forum 등의 역할이 중요해지는 이유가 여기에 있다. 이미 이들 단체는 사업자간 합의에 의해 자발적으로 구축한 NGOSS 및 TL9000 인증시스템을 바탕으로, 망사업자를 비롯한 서비스공급자 및 벤더 등과의 원활한 협력관계를 구축하는 글로벌 de facto 표준을 마련한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 QoS 보장을 목표로 하는 차세대 인터넷(NGN)의 현실적 성공 가능성을 높이기 위한 글로벌 표준화 노력을 소개하고 이들을 비교/검토한다. 특히, ITU 및 IETF 등의 NGN 개발계획을 비즈니스/정책점 관점에서 보완할 수 있는 TMF와 QuEST Forum의 접근법을 고찰하여, All-IP 컨버전스 환경에서의 QoS 이슈에 시사하는 바를 살펴본다.

With growth of Internet, real time multimedia application services require guarantee of QoS (Quality of Service). However, the existing Internet based on best-effort service is not enough to support those services, so MARS model to support IP multicast over ATM networks and RSVP to provide heterogeneous QoS by resource reservation scheme are proposed. As a simulation result, it is proved that processing delay of MARS is increased and success of resource reservation is decreased as a number of QoS change request of a receiver is increased. Therefore, it is important to provide heterogeneous QoS that distribute a load of MARS caused by convergence of messages and efficiently manage the resource of network as to find out scale of receivers and frequency of QoS change request.

In this thesis, we propose a Speed Accommodation Priority Algorithm Scheme(SPAS) and Traffic Control Model Scheme (TCMS) to satisfy a desired handoff dropping probability and to reduce the blocking probability of new calls using mobility characteristics and handoff rate in mobile communication networks. The guard channels below threshold can guarantee the Quality of Service(QoS) in terms of the request handoff dropping probability and the guard channels above the threshold can be used to handle high priority new calls and high priority handoff calls. When the ratio of the handoff call arrival rate is less then the ratio of the new call arrival rate, the proposed method can guarantee the new call better than the previous guard channel scheme.

서비스를 기반으로 하지 않은 기존의 그리드 환경에서 병렬 작업 처리를 위한 그리드 어플리케이션은 여래 개의 노드에서 병렬적으로 동일한 작업을 수행하였지만, 웹서비스가 통할된 서비스 기반의 그리드 환경에서는 선형 워크플로우가 여러 개의 서비스 노드에 걸쳐 수행된다. 그러므로 그리드 어플리케이션의 수행 속도 항상을 위해서는 서비스와 서비스 간의 관계를 고려하여야 한다. 그러나 그리드 자원이 각 관리영역마다 이질적이고 그리드 자원의 상태가 동적이어서 그리드 어플리케이션의 성능을 예측하기는 어렵다. 또한 서비스 기반의 그리드 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 사용자의 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장하여 사용자의 요구 사항을 만족시킬 수 있어야 하기 때문에 사용자 요구에 미달하는 성능 저하와 같은 결함이 발생하였을 경우 이에 대처할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 서비스 기반 그리드 컴퓨팅 환경의 특징을 반영하는 워크플로우 관리 시스템의 구조를 설계하고 서비스 수행 성능을 예측하기 위한 서비스 특성에 관한 모델링과 적응적 스케쥴링 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 적응적 스케쥴링 기법에서는 서비스 간의 관계를 고려하기 위해 최대 흐름 알고리즘(Maximum-Flow Algorithm)을 이용하는 방법과 사용자의 QoS에 대한 수행성능을 보장하기 위해 서비스의 성능 저하 시에 발생하는 결항을 포용할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.

A service involves a human interaction between a consumer (customer) and a provider (service worker). In particular, services in today's intangible economy are understood as creative activities that exercise human capital as related goods. Since most service activities are human activities, not objects, they depend on direct interaction between users and service workers, and funeral services are understood as human activities provided by service providers to service targets (deceased, families, condolences). In other words, the funeral service is a service for the deceased, survivors, and condolences in a special situation of death, and can be viewed as a human activity that is exerted by the integration of the interactions between service workers, survivors, and condolences. Functions of funeral services expand for convenience of consumers through the smooth provision of funeral supplies and a variety of complex interpersonal services so that the deceased can perform solemn funeral ceremonies. In this study, the concept and role of funeral services were studied in order to find the direction of funeral services centering for next of kin(families) and condolences, who are the subjects of services from a service-oriented logic perspective. In order to derive meaningful results of people-centered funeral services, funeral services and funeral supplies are classified from the perspective of dynamic resources, guarantees consumers a wide range of funeral choice, and customer dissatisfaction and improvement requests are handled transparently. It suggested a possible plan. Now, in order to improve the quality of life, it is necessary to make efforts to improve the quality of funeral services that improve the quality of death.
